Abstract

The article focuses on the resurgence of norovirus, commonly known as the stomach flu, as infection control measures for COVID-19 have eased in the U.S. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports an increase in norovirus cases, with approximately 2,500 outbreaks annually, primarily affecting young children and older adults. Norovirus spreads through contaminated food and surfaces, and symptoms include vomiting and diarrhea, typically lasting one to three days. While there is no vaccine or specific treatment, preventive measures include thorough handwashing and proper food handling. [Extracted from the article]
